Chapter 1419 1272: The Mysterious Entity
Looking at their plight, Lily couldn't help but burst into a burst of evil laughter. That wasn't just an ordinary fog, but a poisonous fog coalesced from her essence!
Any living creature would die after being shrouded by the poisonous fog as it entered their body. Their life essence would slowly enter her body and they would eventually turn into her possessions!
"Huh? How did that happen?!"
But just as Lily guffawed, she widened her eyes in disbelief at the green fog around her. At that moment, the poisonous fog had enfolded the entire garden.
At a glance, the place was like an ocean of clouds. Logically speaking, they would have had no chance of resisting and would die instantly from this attack. But she was bewildered because she didn't feel any energy surging into her body!
That's impossible. The flesh and blood of anyone who dies in my poisonous fog will heal my wounded body and restore my strength. But why…!
'What exactly is happening?'
At that moment, Julia felt an immense pain in her hind leg. She let out a squeal and her huge body tumbled onto the ground. But what shocked her was that one of her hind legs was chopped off entirely!
How is that possible? In my poisonous fog, how are they able to move about freely and even attack me?
While Lily was flabbergasted, the green, poisonous fog had already scattered.
The scenery revealed itself before her eyes once again. Looking at this scene, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.
Three flickering, defensive barriers merged to form a gigantic translucent shield, with Sakuya's group leisurely standing in it. The rolling green fog was kept out thoroughly. No matter how hard it slammed onto the barrier, it just couldn't break through the defense.
'What the hell? What is going on?'
Looking at this scene, Lily's mind went blank.
They have used some way to stop my poisonous fog from infiltrating, but how did they know? There are warning signs before I release the poisonous fog. Even if their reactions are quick, all of them can't avoid my attack!
"Go! Give your all and blast her to death!"
Sakuya shouted, she couldn't be bothered with what Lily was thinking. This wasn't their first time fighting against a monster like this.
Right after Lily spat that poisonous fog she quickly came up with an idea which she put to use. She activated the poison-immunity enchanted field and gathered everyone to avoid this deadly attack. Not only that but after releasing this ultimate skill, Lily would also enter a cooldown period. And now, she wasn't able to absorb the vitality of anyone and grew more exhausted instead. There wasn't a much better chance than this for their group!
"Everyone, go all out!"
Sakuya commanded, raising her sword high in the air.
''? Spirits heard my call!"
Pandora put her bow to the side and summoned her sword and shortly after, a spirit answered her call and spun as it appeared at the tip of her blade.
Shatter!
The spirit bird expanded its wings and cried, metamorphosing into a bolt of lightning that attached to Pandora's blade. She gripped the hilt and slashed from above.
Boom———!
A lightning blade ray exploded from her blade, striking Lily heavily. Electrical currents erupted, wrapping the humongous spider. Lily, who was struggling to stand to her feet, let out a scream and became paralyzed again. At the same time, Sakuya laughed heartily raised her katana with both hands, and performed an Iai thrust, penetrating Lily's huge abdomen!
"Ahhhhhh!"
Along with Lily's blood-curdling screech, the scarlet katana (A/N: Her second katana acquired in Saeko's hometown) slashed a deep gash on her abdomen. Putrid blood spurted out of the wound as Lily suffered agonizing pain. Lily turned around, fluttered her arms, and tried grabbing the Sakuya but she escaped, Lily was about to attack.
But at that moment, Gracier who had been idling finally acted, she transformed her Gift from bracelet to bow her weapon and aimed "———!"
at Lily's chest. A large flame arrow coalesced and took shape in her hands. At the next second,released the arrow, and it punctured the enormous spider.
BOOM!
"———!"
The mighty impact blasted Lily backward, disrupting her next move. As she roared in a futile struggle, the overwhelming glow of blade rays and magic enveloped her completely.
Crack!
After a few moments, Lily plunged to the ground. Her body was riddled with scars from top to bottom. Under the relentless attacks by Sakuya's group, Lily, who couldn't replenish her strength and failed to summon her children again, collapsed completely.
"No… I can't die… My nest… My children!"
Along with her hoarse snarl, Lily struggled in despair. But at that point, she was no longer a threat. Her useless struggles were meaningless to everyone. Looking at this scene, Sakuya shook her head and sauntered toward her. Upon witnessing his approach, Lily's dimming eyes glinted once again.
''I summon thee at the price of my life!"
''Oh no!" Sakuya knew something bad was about to happen but it was already too late by the time she noticed it because Lily at the cost of her life summoned an entity, this entity didn't have a proper form, sometimes it showed bird form, sometimes snake-like a form. It was to say it was formless. The only thing noteworthy about this entity would be its ghostly form.
Swoosh!"
Both Sakuya and Pandora launched their attacks simultaneously, They both hacked the mysterious entity's body but strangely nothing happened, it received no damage.
''!"
They put distance between them and the beast in an instant.
The girls feel chill running down their spines, Gracier felt it more. Her dragon were telling her to act quickly if not they would die so she hesitated no more.
''Fire Serpent!"
Gracier created a five-meter-long flame snake and ordered it to attack the mysterious entity.
"Roarrrr———!"
Facing the fire serpent, the mysterious entity responded with an attack of its own. It spread its arms apart, and shortly after, flames of black and white rose from the ground, forming a solid barrier to resist the fire serpent. The fire serpent crashed head first into the bizarre wall of fire, but what happened left Gracier staring in amazement. The fire serpent she created was actually 'sucked' into the barrier and disappeared to nowhere!?
What exactly is going on? Could it be that this monster has a certain degree of immunity against magical attacks? In that case, this battle will be almost impossible! Based on her instinct, this monster seems to possess extraordinary skills against close-combat classes. But now, long-range magical spells also don't seem to work either. This mysterious entity is truly terrifying.
However, what surprised her even more was still coming.
The moment her fire serpent vanished, the strange barrier surged in size and a fire serpent of black and white flew out and swung its claws at Gracier's group!
Looking at this scene, Gracier was taken aback. She was certain that this fire serpent that was coming for them was the exact one she released earlier.
Everything happened too fast but she was still able to react.
"Return!"
Gracier broke out in cold sweat. She yelled, raised her right hand hurriedly and flicked her fingers as if executing some sort of intricate spell . Shortly after, along with this series of actions, a red magical ritual emanated on the ground, enveloping the fire serpent. The fire serpent let out a howl and struggled in midair for a few moments, before rapidly disappearing into the air.
"Phew!"
After forcefully withdrawing the fire serpent, Gracier let out a sigh of relief. But at the moment, she wasn't entirely relieved yet because this mysterious entity's abilities were so mysterious that they were able to take in her magical spell and use it as its own. It wasn't that Sakuya hadn't encountered something similar from other monsyetq6, but she had never seen one that was so bizarre. After all, most powerful monsters had weaknesses. For instance, if they were immune to magical attacks, their physical defense would be poor. Even if they were immune to both physical and magical attacks, most of them had a conversion process. But now, this mysterious entity was so strange. Even though one couldn't judge a a powerful monster with common sense, it would still be too challenging for Gracier to take on the monster who was immune to physical and magical attacks, and so powerful that it could wipe out several powerful adventurers in a split second!
Suddenly, Sakuya had an idea of testing, she took three white scrolls from her item box and threw them up before slashing them from afar using her katanas.
Three dazzling, sacred light columns descended from heaven, enfolding the mysterious entity entirely.
"Arghhh…!"
This time, the mysterious entity finally let out an agonizing screech. It retreated desperately to avoid the holy light. Looking at this scene, Sakuya's eyes glinted with joy.
''Finally, something worked.''
